Generally if you dont plan on doing anything fancy by
hand with your accel groups, you will only need one accel
group and it must be added to each toplevel window.

Hrm, the widgets that have accelerators have to be inside windows
that have accel groups afaics ?

I'll have to look deeper into that one, minds a little foggy with
accelerators...
